 Centrifugal pump

A rotating-impeller pump that transfers mechanical energy to a fluid. At a fixed speed its head varies with flow; its characteristic curve and the connected system determine the pump operating point.

A centrifugal pump is a type of mechanical equipment used to move fluids (liquids or slurries) by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrodynamic energy. This process generally involves the following key components and principles: ### Key Components: 1. **Impeller**: The rotating component that imparts energy to the fluid. It has vanes or blades that push the fluid outward from the center as it spins.
